    1. Pacman
    2. JM Marquez
    3. Yuriorkas Gamboa
    4. JM Lopez
    5. Victor Ortiz/Guillermo Rigondeaux

    Valero was definitely on that list for his warrior instincts. Sad to see such an exciting fighter waste his talents...even if he was a really flawed human.

    Napa!????!!!?? he is a class enough boxer but a sure cure for insomnia. Thats a fairly crazy top five from 1 through to 5 to be honest!

    1. Shane Mosley
    2. Manny Pacquaio
    3. Miguel Cotto
    4. David Haye
    5. Winky Wright

    Mayweather would be in there at 3 if it was just who do I like watching most but my hatred for him keeps him off my list of favourite fighters. Roy Jones Jr would be top if he wasn't shot for nearly 10 years, hate watching him now

    Pacquiao - cos i think he is simply the man, only person i could forsee beating mayweather if the fight is made, believe he is clean and a model pro, no reason to ever doubt him.

    Mosley - endeered himself to me on 24/7, lept out of my seat when i thought he had maywether rocked in their fight, think age has caught up with him though

    Haye - can fight, exciting, not afriad to sell a fight, seems like an alright bloke outside the ring

    Katsidis - very eloquent and humble in defeating mitchell, seems to be a model pro, great conditioning and training, very exciting to watch

    Cotto - genuine warrior, feel he deserves more credit after losing to marg's loaded gloves

    Probably in that order


    /edit, hardly suprising amir khan doesnt get a favourite status, can't like the guy

    p.s. the only thing that is similar between Hamed and Khan is that they are British Muslim - the similarity ends there.
